Mystery: From Celestial Venerable's Backup to Red Priest

Chapter 92 Assassination of Duke Negan

Chapter 92 Assassination of Duke Negan

Upon hearing Evan's words, Mr. A initially remained expressionless, but as he listened, he became increasingly impatient, for he saw an excellent opportunity to infiltrate the witch cult.

As one of the leaders of the Aurora Society, Mr. A knows a lot about the Ironblood Cross Society and is naturally quite familiar with the destructive power of the Witch Cult, which is similar to it.

Now that the true creator is sealed off by the seven gods, he is eager to create more chaos and attract more attention in order to welcome the arrival of the true creator.

However, the Aurora Society, which had been targeted by the Seven Gods, had been unable to find an opportunity to make a big move, but Evan's appearance brought an opportunity.

What could be a more suitable weapon than the witch cult, a symbol of destruction and disaster that thrives on chaos?

Mr. A's gaze toward Evan grew increasingly fanatical. He believed that Evan's appearance was a divine revelation from the true creator, allowing him to infiltrate and control the Witch Cult step by step by supporting Evan, and ultimately seize control of the two paths that could bring disaster and turmoil: hunters and assassins.

Going even further, could it be that God used this opportunity to shepherd the "Primordial Witch," who had been severely damaged since the Fourth Age, into a lamb?

Mr. A seemed to see the future God descending to earth, mercifully gazing upon all living beings.

As for whether Evan was deceiving him, Mr. A hadn't considered that at all, because Evan had recited the name of the true creator in front of the idol right away, so he didn't think Evan would lie.

As for Evan's ability to take witch-path potions simultaneously, Mr. A had even less reason to doubt it. He simply believed that it was a kind of "herding" ability bestowed upon Evan by the Lord, which was too commonplace for him.

"Good, good, good! You truly deserve to be a believer who receives the Lord's attention. Not only were you able to infiltrate MI9, but you also joined the Witch Cult. All of this is thanks to the Lord's favor!" Mr. A said fervently.

"Today, the Witch Cult has prepared a safe house for me, supposedly to screen members who escaped from Tingen to Backlund."

Judging from the level of importance they attach to this, the instigator who fled from Tingen to Backlund must be very important. Please pay close attention to him!

Just as Mr. A said he would investigate personally, a waiter whom Evan had seen in the trading hall came in through a small door in the corner, handed a piece of paper to Mr. A, and then hurriedly left without saying a word or even glancing at Evan.

Mr. A looked at the paper in front of him, his smile gradually becoming unrestrained, until finally he even burst into laughter:

"Mr. Z did not waste what you told him last time, nor did he betray the Lord's trust in him."

He had been closely monitoring the situation since the first ship arrived at Port Enmat, and eventually rescued a member of the Witch Cult from the Mechanical Hearts squad and converted him to our Lord.

Now that the witch cult's influence in Tingen has been wiped out, Mr. Z sent that member to Backlund. He should be the "instigator" that the witch cult is trying to identify, as you mentioned.

The Witch Cult's influence in Tingen has been wiped out, so it's no wonder they're screening the sole survivor. If he can escape the screening, then we'll have two sources of information within the Witch Cult, and the Master's control of the cult will be just around the corner.

In the end, Mr. A's enthusiasm was palpable, and Evan echoed his sentiments.

He already knew from the "Lord of Mysteries" in his mind that Triss had pledged allegiance to the Aurora Society, and he also expected that Mr. would inform Mr. A of this matter. That's why he rushed over in a hurry, just to use information that could definitely be proven to demonstrate his loyalty.

After laughing, Mr. A gradually calmed down and looked at the telegram in his hand, asking:

"Mr. Yi is worried that this newly converted believer will not be able to explain himself, so he made him tell the truth about the Witch Cult after arriving in Backlund, except for converting to our Lord. He said that Mr. Z saved him but then released him because we need him as an intermediary to cooperate with the Witch Cult. Do you think this reason is convincing?"

Hearing this, Evan couldn't help but admire them. The Aurora Society was just "fanatics," but they were anything but stupid! Dealing with them required extreme caution; one wrong move and they might find a weakness in you.

Evan hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Mr. Yi's thinking is correct. Although the Witch Cult has suffered heavy losses in Tingen, no one knows if a few small fry might have been overlooked. Moreover, Mr. Z's rescue of Tris should not be a secret. If Tris does not tell the truth, he may expose himself immediately."

But this raises another question: if the Witch Cult really uses Tris as an intermediary to negotiate cooperation with us, what actions should we take to conceal Tris's identity?

If it's just a minor collaboration, Triss might be suspected again, because using Triss as an intermediary would be too roundabout.

But if it's about cooperating on something big, what kind of big project could it be? And this big project should involve significant effort from the Witch Cult and should benefit us.

Mr. A felt that what Evan said made a lot of sense. He had always wanted to do something big and had several plans in mind, but these plans were all tailor-made for the Aurora Society and had nothing to do with the Witch Cult.

At that moment, he saw a glint of inspiration in Evan's eyes, but he hesitated to speak, so he smiled and said:

"It's all for the Lord. Feel free to speak your mind."

Upon hearing this, Evan did not hesitate and directly shared his opinion:

"As you know, my brother has some influence in Ruen politics, so I've learned a lot about things during this time."

I've noticed that internal divisions within the Ruen political arena are becoming increasingly serious, but a certain balance is still being maintained. This balance is being held together by a few political manipulators. If we were to suddenly eliminate one of them, it might throw the Ruen political arena into chaos, which would be more beneficial to our development. Even if the assassination fails, it would leave evidence against their political rivals, which could still cause chaos, and that would be good for us as well.

Furthermore, as far as I know, the Witch Cult has considerable connections in the upper echelons of Rune society and possesses extremely strong intelligence capabilities, which is exactly what we lack. Therefore, it's perfectly reasonable for us to seek their cooperation on this matter, and it will also help dispel their suspicions about Tris.

Mr. A thought for a moment and felt that what Evan said made a lot of sense, so he said:

"Since you have some understanding of the political scene in Ruen, if you had to choose, who would you choose to assassinate?"

"Of course, it's the true leader of the Conservative Party in politics—the Duke of Negan."
